Celtic snatched a point from their thrilling clash at Ibrox today, further solidifying their position in the Scottish Premiership title race under the guidance of Brendan Rodgers. Daizen Maeda, Matt O’Riley, and Adam Idah all found the back of the net for the visitors, while James Tavernier, Abdallah Sima, and Rabbi Matondo responded for the home side.
Rodgers commended his team for maintaining control of their fate this season, expressing pride in their performance despite not securing a victory. However, the post-match celebrations were marred by an off-field incident involving Celtic assistant manager John Kennedy. The 40-year-old was struck by several objects believed to be coins, prompting a formal police investigation and a strong condemnation from the club.
In a statement addressing the incident, Celtic expressed their outrage at the attack on their staff and vowed to confront Rangers about the issue. This unfortunate event serves as a stark reminder of the need to eradicate unsportsmanlike behavior from football, regardless of the team or location involved.
